Your Davey Spa Bath Pump

Congratulations on your purchase of a quality product from the Davey

range of Pool and Spa Equipment. You are assured of many years of

reliable and efcient performance from your Davey Spa Bath Pump backed

by Davey’s two year guarantee.

The Davey Spa Bath Pump range has been specially designed to offer

optimum performance and ample bubbling pressure in spa baths. It should

not be used for any other purpose without rst consulting your Davey

Dealer or Davey Customer Service Centre.

The AB and TB models incorporate a thermostatically controlled heater

element. The heater element maintains the bath water temperature for a

long hot bath.

The Celsior range is designed for use in spa baths. They are not

recommended for use in chemically treated spa pool water.

At Davey we design and build our own electric motors especially for our

pumps. The matched motor and “pumping end” are designed to provide

quiet operation while delivering optimum water ow.

Davey’s totally enclosed motor incorporates “auto-start” overload protection

with a built-in automatic thermostat designed to protect the motor from

overheating. The excess heat from the motor is captured by the spa water,

ensuring a long hot soak.

Davey Spa Bath Pumps are constructed of durable thermoplastic,

eliminating corrosion problems and consequent spa bath staining. Specially

designed to be self-draining (when installed as per instructions), the pump

drains after use, preventing the build-up of stale water.

Installation and Operating Instructions

Location

The pump should be located as close to the spa bath as practicable (either

internally or externally). It is the installer’s/owner’s responsibility to locate

the pump such that the nameplate can be easily read and it can be readily

accessed for service.

It is recommended that the pump is protected from the weather. Enclosures

should be ventilated to prevent condensation build–up.

Failure to adequately install the Spa Bath Pump as outlined above may

result in pump damage and/or removal costs not covered by the guarantee.

Electrical Connection

In the interests of safety, we advise that all Spa Bath Pumps must be

installed in accordance with relevant standards, particularly AS 3000 wiring

rules or equivalent.

This product is suitable for connection to a nominal 240V 50Hz power

supply and is equipped with a lead and three pin plug.

This product must be installed so the motor can be turned off independently

of the air button or touch pad (a standard ON/OFF power point provides

this).

If the supply cord of this product is damaged it must be replaced with a

genuine Davey Spare Part, by the manufacturer or its service agent or a

similar qualied person in order to avoid a hazard.

Air Switch Models - Tube Connection

These pumps are supplied with an air switch tube connected to the back of

the motor on the 200, 270 & 400.

1. Before installing, ensure that :

- the tube is properly connected to the pump,

- the tube can be connected to the air button (not supplied) at the bath.

2. When installing route the tube via the shortest possible path to the air

button. Ensure that there are no kinks.

3. Do not loop air tube around pipe work or framing.

Electronic Models - Touchpad Assembly / Installation

These models are supplied with a low voltage electronic touch pad to

control pump and heater functions.

Assembly

Click faceplate onto touch pad. Then apply label to faceplate/touchpad

assembly ensuring it is right way up.

Installation

The assembled touchpad is then ready for mounting at the bath. Route

the lead to enable connection at both the touchpad and pump ends. A

26mm dia. hole is required to mount the touchpad ush on the bath surface

(usually pre drilled by bath manufacturer).

Apply a bead of silicone on the touchpad box only to secure it to the bath

surface and prevent water leaking under the bath. Do not silicone the clip

on faceplate to the bath surface.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION

(Pump must be able to self drain)

Please pass these instructions on to the owner of this equipment.

PUMP POSITION IS IMPORTANT

PLUMBERS NOTE!

NOTE: To avoid possible water damage to property from ruptured

pipes, leaking connections, worn/leaking pump seals, etc., pumps

must be installed on a well drained site or in a properly construct-

ed drain tray.

Plumbing Installation

This product is supplied with barrel unions which accept 40mm PVC pipe.

In all cases, the pump must be installed so that the suction line

of the pump slopes from the pump to the bath suction cap with a

recommended minimum gradient of 1:60 or 1 degree. This enables

water to drain out of the pump when it is switched off.

The pump must be installed at a height ensuring the pump discharge

outlet is always below the water level in the bath. This prevents the

pump from getting an air lock (which causes the pump to not fully

prime).

Initial Start Up

Before operating the pump, be sure that no debris or materials are left in

the pipework which may enter the pump and cause an obstruction to ow

or damage to the pump.

1. Check all pipework is properly sealed and rmly xed (only hand tighten

barrel unions).

2. Fill the bath to the correct level and check pipework for leaks. Activate

the pump, by pushing the air button or touchpad switch. Check for

leaks in the pipe work again.

3. Switch off the pump by pushing the air button or touchpad again.

Pump Operation

Fill the bath to the correct level.

Air Switch Models

Depress the air button to operate the pump. Depress the air button again to

switch off the pump.

Electronic Models

“Spa” button - turns pump and heater on/off together.

“Boost Heat” button - enables the heater to be turned off/on while pump is

running.

CAUTION

To operate efciently and prevent pump damage there must be a free ow

of water to and from the pump. Ensure that any valves are appropriately

positioned and there is nothing else preventing the ow of water through

the system.

If the pump stops due to power failure or overheating, turn the pump off

otherwise it will automatically restart when power supply resumes or the

motor cools down.

Avoid lling the bath with very hot water as this may cause “nuisance

tripping” of the element in heated models (refer TROUBLE SHOOTING

section part C). Nuisance tripping can be prevented by partially lling

the bath with cold water and then adding hot water for a comfortable

temperature.

Avoid foreign objects such as tissues or large amounts of hair entering the

bath water as they may be drawn into the pump causing it to jam.

Trouble Shooting

A) If the pump runs, but does not deliver water, the following may be

the cause:

1. The pump is mounted too high relative to the jets in the bath, causing

it to air lock.

Usually this can be rectied by activating the air bleed (refer to section

ACTIVATING AIR BLEED)

If this fails, the pump will have to be lowered 10 - 15 mm at a time until

it primes (refer to section PLUMBING INSTALLATION).

2. Leak in the suction pipework allowing air to be drawn in.

3. Pipework is blocked.

B) If the motor does not run, the following may be the cause:

1. Power is not connected or a fuse has blown.

2. Overload has been tripped.

The motor is tted with an automatic re-set overload which is

designed to protect the motor from damage under overload

conditions. Allow the motor to cool and the overload will re-set

automatically to start the pump again. Determine the cause of

overload if possible and rectify. Constant stopping indicates a

problem to be rectied before permanent damage occurs.

3. Air operated switch is in “OFF” condition.

4. The air button on the bath is defective.

5. The electronic touchpad system is defective.

6. The bath water is too hot - add cold water to the bath.

temperature, the following may be the cause:

Heated pump models feature a back-up protection device which cuts

out the heater and pump if the water temperature exceeds 50°C.

The heater may be cut-out by a thermostat malfunction. However, it is

far more likely to be “nuisance tripped” by lling the bath with very hot

water.

To re-set the heater, press the button on the rear of the pump control

box. If the heater continues to cut-out service attention will be required.

In the event of installation or operation difculties with your Davey Spa Bath

Pump, contact the supplier from whom the pump was purchased or your

nearest Authorised Davey Pool Equipment Service Centre. For assistance

in locating your nearest dealer contact the Davey Customer Service Centre.

Activating Air Bleed

NOTE:

1. To overcome priming difculties it may be necessary to activate the

air bleed. To do this, cut end off air bleed valve with a sharp hacksaw.

Connect PVC drain tube to air bleed valve after activation.

2. When air bleed is activated, it is essential that a PVC drain tube

(supplied with pump) is tted to the barb. Direct tubing up in a loop

above the water level of the bath and then back down again into a

drain or outside of the building, so that any water passing through the

tube will not cause damage.

NOTE: Barrel unions need to be hand tightened only. Do not use tools,

sealants, solvents, lubricants or thread tape. Use of these methods is not

required and may cause damage to the unions or the pump which is not

covered by warranty.

NOTE: Suction and discharge piping, from the pump to the bath, MUST be

installed such that all water drains back to the bath when emptied, and must

be in accordance with local Health Department Regulations (refer to the

following diagram for correct installation).

Never run the pump dry. Running the pump with no water may damage the

mechanical seals, causing leakage and ooding. Dry running damage and

associated damage is not covered under warranty.

tries, as follows :-

WARNING: Davey Spa Bath Pumps (heated and non heated models)

are capable of pumping water with temperatures up to 50°C. However,

medical authorities recommend that the average temperature of spa water

should not exceed 40°C.

Spa bath pump & pipework hygiene - soap residue and body oil deposits

must be regularly ushed from the spa pipe work to ensure that the spa

does not foster bacteria growth and promote unhygienic conditions.

We recommend that this is preformed at least every month.

1. Fill bath with cold water above jets.

2. Open all jets and air controls.

3. Add a degreaser or sanitiser to the bath water, following

manufacturer’s directions.

4. Run pump for 5 minutes.

5. Stop pump and drain spa. Wipe off any excess deposits on interior of

bath and ush with fresh water.

Commercial or multi-user baths should be ushed between each user.

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or inrm persons

without supervision.

Young children should the supervised to ensure that they do not play with

the appliance.

DANGER - Harzardous suction. Do not block water entry into ltration

system with any part of your body as the pressure can trap hair or body

parts, causing severe injury or death. Do not block suction. Turn off

pump immediately if someone becomes trapped.

Small children using the pool or spa must ALWAYS have close adult

supervision.
